Enarrationes in psalmos 144,7
Quote 10 23
In school children are introduced to matters that extol the works of God: praise for the sun, the heavens, the earth; and down to lesser things, the admiration of the rose, the laurel. All of these are works of God. They are presented, received and acclaimed; yet silence is kept regarding their Maker. As for me, I want the Creator to be exalted in His images. I am appalled with the ungrateful adulator.
